Ben Hood Keep 'adoption' out of your mouth. We've had three national apologies—learn from them. 1/2 #adopteetwitter #adopteerights #adoptionistrauma abc.net.au/news/2024-09-2…

Promoting adoption in abortion discussions has no place. Abortion is a pregnancy decision, & adoption shouldn't be part of the conversation. They are two separate issues, & conflating them disregards peoples rights & needs which you clearly don't care about. #adoptionistrauma

Gabrielle Belinduh Pyne Ben Hood I used to work in out of home care for children. Nobody wants to adopt and even if these children were adopted or fostered out, they’re being sexually assaulted / neglected by some carers that’s meant to protect them. These kids are living out of hotels with 24/7 roster staff

Ronnie bonnienorman.bsky.social There are reasons why many countries, including recently China, are stopping international adoptions. This is because they have come to realise how abusive the system can be for a child taken from their culture and basically exported to the west. (5/)

Ronnie If you want to dispute the evidence reported in numerous gov't reports adoption then go ahead. If you want to dispute the long-standing evidence about the trauma caused by infant separation than let us here it. The evidence is there, it just doesn't sit well with your views.

The US - another settler-colonial state - continues to murder Black & Indigenous people in cold blood Marcellus Williams should be alive right now. Shame on every hand in this

Angela 🔊 Terrifying. Know a student who failed a Uni essay when Roe vs Wade overturned. Marker ridiculed their essay claim USA would impact Australia. Frighteningly, was a UniSa psychology/sociology assignment & marker did not even know that at that stage SA had not fully decriminalised.

Ben Hood I can't believe your vile, heinous mindset. Go back and acquaint yourself with our nations history, you obtuse individual. Adoption is draconian, archaic & arguably not aligned with human rights. Keep adoption out of your mouth. #adoptionistrauma

Angela 🔊 Just so you know Maree, that student was able to appeal and marked and passed. Sadly that’s the best that can happen, a pass on a review. Was worth a HD. Solid work.

Ppl dont want to understand the issues #adoptees face. We are invisible in data, so how many have died by suicide, homeless, etc. We know #adoptees are minoritized & at risk but who care? Adoption doesn't safeguard. Thanks Belle for the acknowledgement. #adoptionistrauma

Louise B Gabrielle Belinduh Pyne Ben Hood Adoptee here, people might be surprised to learn that there's many prochoice adoptees. Abortion & adoption shouldn't be conflated. Aside from this we've already had a national apology for forced adoption! Abortion is healcare.

Louise B Gabrielle Belinduh Pyne Ben Hood While my mother was forced to give me up under the brutal, unethical & oft illegal forced adoption practices, I wish she'd chosen abortion. She wanted to keep me though but I was taken. I'm not the only #adoptee who feels this way. #adopteetwitter #adoptionistrauma

Listen to Adoptees.

Angela 🔊 Louise B Gabrielle Belinduh Pyne Ben Hood Adoption is so mentally exhausting while being spiritually and consciously disorientating. I completely agree #abortion over #adoption is more humane. If you aren’t adopted, you have no concept of how extremely harmful this trauma is! #adopteevoices

Angela 🔊 Louise B Gabrielle Belinduh Pyne Ben Hood Reflecting on Galungan from the fringes in Bali. As an adoptee, I find myself observing, absorbing, and praying for change amidst the rituals. Galungan reminds us of the deep yearning for connection & identity. #Galungan #Adoption #Bali #adopteevoices medium.com/thoughtless-de…
